“TWEEEEET!” Keisha makes the ultimate defensive sacrifice, selling it so effectively that the ref blows the whistle (and uses the wrong hand to signal) before she even hits the floor. You would think that a self-professed “jock” like Cayla would admire her daughter’s intense play, but instead she chastises hubby-to-be for showing some enthusiasm.

Dese Nuts
Oh, you just know that somewhere in Batiuk’s studio is a napkin, from Luigi’s of Akron, on which TB has jotted “idea for strip punchline: academia nuts!”
Tell me if reversing the order of panels doesn’t make it funnier:
Cayla, who’s been disparaging the team since the start of the season, decides she’s gonna lighten things up with her little nut gag. The “joke” goes over like a turd in a punchbowl, and she sheepishly puts away her bag o’ nuts, mumbling to herself while Les and Linda offer pitying glances.
Upright, Outta Sight
Save the Snark Update! Thanks to those who have responded to SoSF’s first-ever (and hopefully last-ever) fundraising drive to help cover web hosting and miscellaneous expenses. Snarkers who wish to show their appreciation may use the PayPal button in the right-hand column…I’ll show my appreciation by wrapping up the begathon at the end of this Friday.
Thanks all, and Stay Funky!
Thanks all, and Stay Funky!
When he’s not just making up words to make himself sound “impo’tant”, Bull likes to mix up his sports jargon. Maybe he really is talking about “putting the basketball through the uprights“; this would cause the backboard and hoop to come crashing to the floor. While this wouldn’t win any games, such a feat of strength would certainly strike terror into the hearts of the opponents.
Cayla, meanwhile, is amazed to see her Caucasian doppelgänger holding the Channel One mic.
Malapropriation
The dramatic turnaround of Westview’s girls’ basketball program has drawn some media attention, and Coach Bushka is inspired to channel Damon Wayans’ Oswald Bates character from the old Fox series In Living Color:
You Complete Me
Ha ha ha! Bull asks his new assistant coach if she can “shift her schedule around” after he’s given her the job. Sure hope she’s able to reschedule her cookie baking and quilting bee, and maybe DVR those episodes of Law and Order.

This woman who he had no idea existed is being subjected to more affection and intimate touches than Bull has shown, well, ANYONE for the past couple of years…If I didn’t know better, I’d say Tom was planting seeds for an adultery arc.
I think that John is (*shudder*) on to something here. Added bonus of that scenario would be that it would free up Linda to finally make her move on Westview’s alpha stud, Les!
